As we approach the end of the summer, this is a great time for leaders and organizations to begin taking stock of the year coming to a close, the year coming up, and the greater vision and purpose that wants to emerge. When it comes to leadership, culture, and strategy, leaders often recognize the need for growth but may not be sure where to start or what action to take next. This blog aims to guide you through the options available to pinpoint the best starting point.

Understanding Your Needs
Oftentimes, asking the right question is what clarifies the best actions. Here are a few questions that may help you focus and prioritize your needs.
- What are the biggest challenges you are facing?
- What outcomes are you hoping to achieve for yourself and your team?
- How do you envision yours and others growth and development impacting your organization?
Exploring Our Services
As InSight has emerged, I’ve learned that there are many different starting points and have continued to build a suite of interconnected services that are designed to meet you and your organization where you are at:
- Comprehensive Organizational Assessment: We conduct an in-depth review of your current leadership and organizational culture to identify the most effective development path and interventions tailored to your needs.
- Executive Coaching: Our six and twelve month engagements are the most popular 1:1 packages as they provide a deep, personalized journey of growth. We also offer a three- session discovery package for leaders.
- Leadership Development Programs: Our longer cohort, ‘Elevating Conscious Leadership‘ provides a group cohort setting and 1:1 coaching so you get integrated team and individual development. ‘Leading with Emotional Intelligence‘ is a shorter and high impact set of workshops that builds a solid foundation and delves into the components of emotional intelligence.
- Facilitation and Workshops: Ideal for strategic planning and team offsites, these sessions are designed to ignite creativity, align your team, and strengthen connections through interactive, hands-on activities.
- Human-Touch Strategy: We offer an end-to-end process that enhances engagement and fosters a unified organizational vision.
- Organizational Change: With so much change all around us, we help develop strategies for change initiatives to run smoother and help develop your leaders to be more effective change agents.
- Join us in Nepal in 2025: We are also bringing leaders to Nepal in 2025 and this gives organizations an option to consider sponsoring leaders for ‘The Sherpa Way: Leadership Journeys in Nepal,’ a unique and transformative leadership development experience.
Aligning Your Needs to the Best Services
A comprehensive assessment can identify challenges and needs you didn’t even know existed and is a great way to map out a people and culture strategy. You can also use these decision-making questions to determine which service or services would be most impactful to your organization:
- Assess your main objectives and reflect on your biggest challenges using the questions above.
- What are your preferred engagement methods (individual, group, short-term, long term, etc)?
- What is your desired depth of engagement (targeted leader or leaders, longer term organizational, broad quick-hit learning workshop, etc)?
Last, exploring our Client Stories will allow you to see how we’ve partnered and addressed the challenges faced by other leaders and organizations.
Now’s The Time
As the season shifts to autumn and you reflect on the past year while preparing for the next, consider how a deliberate approach to leadership and strategy could benefit individual leaders, teams and your organization. Visionary leadership and purposeful culture is often an overlooked growth strategy. Now’s the time to unleash it!
